http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/forum/37-general-football-sport/enThe Boxing News Threadhttp://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/174314-the-boxing-news-thread/Been thinking of starting this thread for a wee while now for those who are big boxing fans like myself of the sweet science. Will try bring the latest news as much as possibe, if anyone else hears anything before me please post all opinions and fight news, Well first fight that we are looking forward to in 2011, one fight that we were looking forward to was Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Manny Pacquiao but fight still hasn't happened as yet because of floyds upcoming court case over offences of battery and theft. Manny Pacquiao will be facing Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand on the 7/05/2011 which is going to be a good fight but would rather have seen him going in with WBC and The Ring magazine champion Sergio Martinez but possibly a step to far up the weights for someone who started his career at flyweight.. Shane will be too old and slow against Manny and will be his last fight and will realise he has had a great career and hang up the gloves , but if he catches manny with the same punches he caught Floyd mayweather with you never know. British world champions fighting this year- Looks like WBA Junion welterweight champion Amir Khan will be fighting #6 ranked Lamont Peterson who drew on the under card of Khans fight with Maidana against #2 ranked Victor Ortiz which seems strange considering Ortiz is the much better fighter and should go and fight Ortiz. Waiting in line for Khan will be the winner of Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley which Bradley wins for me. can't see Khan winning against Bradley who is a far superior fighter IMO. David Hayes on/off fight with Wladimir Klitschko hit dead wood last week after Wladimir opted to fight unbeaten British and Commonwealth Heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora on the april the 30th but still wanted to fight Haye on 2nd July which was too close and could get injured causing the fight to be cancelled , really on Davids side on this one here, Wladimir wanted fight on april with Haye but couldn't because Amir Khans fight on same month which Sky Box office wouldn't have 2 PPV on same month. Looks as though haye will be forced to fight #1 ranked by Ruslan Chagaev in germany due to the Uzbekistan fighter having Hepatitis B and wouldn't be allowed to fight in the UK under British boxing board of control rules. Will update later with Carl Froch progress and maybe that wee ta**ier c*nt from coatbridge Ricky Burns(aka paper champion) cheerz

So it begins with Barry Bennell admiting seven child sex offences.

Former football coach Barry Bennell has pleaded guilty to seven child sex offences.

Mr Bennell, 63, now known as Richard Jones, admitted six charges of indecent assault, between 1988-1991, on day one of his trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

He previously pleaded guilty to one further charge, it can now be reported.

He is charged with 55 offences in total, including 42 counts of indecent assault, 11 serious sexual assaults and two counts of attempted sexual assault.

A jury for the trial - which is due to last for eight weeks - is expected to be sworn in later.

The ex-Crewe Alexandra coach entered the six guilty pleas as he appeared via videolink in court wearing a grey jumper.

The offences relate to two complainants who were boys aged between 11 and 14 at the time.

Mr Bennell was charged with 55 offences relating to 12 complainants, aged between eight and 15 at the time.

Must of given the police a back hander to get out of that one surely?

Four West Brom players were interviewed by police after allegedly stealing a taxi from outside a fast-food restaurant in Barcelona on Thursday.

Catalonia police told BBC Sport the players - who have not been named - were interviewed but not arrested after the incident in the early hours.

The Premier League club said it was investigating the incident, which happened during a training trip.

West Brom host Southampton in the FA Cup at 15:00 GMT on Saturday.

Mossos d'Esquadra - the Catalan regional police force - said the four players involved wanted to go out in Barcelona, but found everything closed so took a taxi to a fast-food restaurant.

When they left, at approximately 05:30, it is alleged they took the taxi and drove back to their hotel - without the driver.

Police were alerted by the hotel and taxi driver, who was reunited with his vehicle at about 08:00.

West Brom, who are bottom of the Premier League, have won just one of their past 25 league matches.

The club said it had "instigated its own investigation into the incident" and said the players "will be subject to the full rigours of our internal disciplinary procedures".

It said it would not comment any further on the incident until the investigation is over.

6 Nations starts again this weekend folks and it's looking like a cracker once again. England are the obvious favourites along with Ireland but I can see there being a shock result or 2 in there.

Scotland are looking good to at least compete well but then how many times have we seen a good autumn series followed by a dismal 6 Nations. If Scotland can get their game going and not make too many stupid self inflicted errors then we certainly have a chance. Wales away up first and that's winnable in my view. Win that one and it sets things up nicely.

Thoughts on this and indeed any other rugby matters please folks....

Used to watch it all. Football Italia on channel 4 in the 90's. European football. International football. Obscure Taliban Premiership football where the matchball is a severed head (only joking, forgive me)

Now, the wages and transfer fees makes my blood boil. We regularly lose out on players to fucking English Championship teams, its grim how an absolute no mark tin pot club can pay 10 times what we can.

Then there's those ads with the epic music playing hyping the shite out of the big Burnley vs Stoke game

I watch Rangers and Rangers only nowadays. No Sky Sports either anymore.

Anyone done a similar turnaround?

I'll also try to contain all my Roma ramblings in this thread, but no promises....

Anyway, one such wee tidbit is to do with Riccardo Montolivo, the Fiorentina central midfielder. For my money, he's currently one of the most talented Italian midfielders around at the moment. Think of a more physically imposing Xavi, and you've got an idea of what sort of player he is. Anyway, he's out of contract with Fiorentina in 2012, and it looks like he'll be on the move, with Inter and Juve the likely suitors. He's an Inter fan, so I reckon he'll probably go there, and thereby continue with the 'Italianisation' that's going over there at the moment.

Thoughts?

i don't agree with the myth that pacific fc have a larger worldwide support than Rangers.

the only reason that the peados are better known at the moment is their annual appearances in the chumpions league where they are gubbed right left and center by europes elite clubs.

certainly septic have made it to 37 in the top 50 football brands list but again this is down to the cash and worldwide exposure from their disastrous chumpions league appearances.

i would like to have seen what position pacific fc would have made in any football brands survey carried out during their 1994 financial meltdown.season..

in fact looking at the whole period from the nineties to the early 2000's glasgow Rangers would have been streets ahead of the peados in any brand surveys carried out at that time.

The 21-year-old is expected to join up with former Rangers boss Mark Warburton at the City Ground

Jason Cummings is on the verge of a move to Nottingham Forest

And Forest boss Mark Warburton is now poised to land the 21-year-old after initially expressing an interest to take him to Rangers.

Keep up to date with ALL the latest news, transfers and goals from Scottish football plus fixtures, results and live match commentary

Cummings had attracted attention from a string of clubs in England but the Championship outfit have stolen a march on their rivals and don’t expect any issues in completing the deal, with a medical pencilled in for this week.

It will come as a blow to Hibees manager Neil Lennon, who had hoped to keep the Scotland Under-21 cap in Leith as they gear towards their first season back in the top-flight.

But it’s believed the player was told the club would not stand in his way if the right offer was submitted, with Cummings in turn having kept his head down instead of agitating for a switch.

Lennon was already hoping to beef up his frontline, despite the summer arrival of Dundee United’s Simon Murray, and will now be handed additional funds to replace the prolific fan favourite.

MICHAEL STEWART took a light-hearted pop at Chris Sutton as he pipped the celtic legend to be crowned the country’s TV and radio top pundit.

The SunSport columnist won the Scottish Football Supporters Association’s award, with BT Sport’s Sutton and the BBC’s Tam McManus taking second and third place respectively.

Sportscene analyst Stewart wrote on Twitter: “Thanks very much to everyone who voted.

“I’m absolutely delighted to have picked up the award.

“What makes it even better is big @chris_sutton73 will be raging!!”

And he joked: “After winning @scottishfsa fans award I just want to reassure everyone that although I really like lamb I’m definitely not into the succulent variety.”

Chris Sutton came second in the vote

A top three for cunts, but poor Sutton always the bridesmaid never the bride.

Anyway my main point is what would you call a collective group of cunts, I was thinking a Shower of Cunts,

I'm probably thick, well not probably but how do you qualify for an assist? At which point in a passage of play does a pass count as an assist? It's a fucking team game. Does the runner pulling the centre half out of position count? He has created space for someone else to score so is that an assist? You could go on for ever. This assist thing is just more shite from America. We don't need all these stupid stats.

“Souness didn’t see or hear it, but when he was shown footage, he was livid.

“There had also been stories about an altercation between Craig and Nicky Butt before the England–Wales game a week or so earlier.

“Souness wasn’t happy about that, either. He called a meeting. ‘When I was on the outside, looking at this football club,’ Souness said, ‘I saw a very talented team, but people who are out of control and think they are above the law. Let’s take a typical week since I have been Newcastle manager.’

“He looked at me. ‘I have just been to the police station with this little p****,’ he said. ‘It’s probably normal for him to be back and forth to the police station all the time, but it’s not normal for me.’

“Then he moved on to Craig and Butty. He had heard about their altercation and that Butty had threatened to beat the s*** out of Craig. ‘I wish he had beaten the s*** out of you,’ Souness said.

“Craig had been warned by Dean Saunders, Souey’s assistant, not to answer back, but it wasn’t in Craig’s make-up to keep quiet. He started protesting that there hadn’t been any argument.

“‘See, this is the problem,’ Souness said. I could see he was about to go. He mentioned a few of the trophies he had won and some of the clubs he had played for.

“‘And then someone like you calls me a f****** p****,’ he said to Craig. ‘I’ll f****** knock you out.’

“He tried to grab Craig by the throat. ‘In the gym now,’ he said. ‘Let’s sort this out like men.’ Alan Shearer had to pull Souness off him.

Souness spent two years in charge of the Magpies

“That was the first time in my life I’ve seen Bellers completely speechless. They never made it to the gym, but it knocked the stuffing out of Craig. Souness had put down a marker.”

The incident came just weeks after Dyer had been arrested following an incident on a night out.

The former midfielder – who was capped 33 times by England – was held at the police station after being accused of urinating on the street.

And things went from bad to worse for the ex-Ipswich and West Ham star when raging Souness picked him up.

It wasn’t the best way to make an impression with his new boss – who had just taken over the Magpies weeks before.

He said: “Souness was actually really good for me. The season I had with him was the best football I played. I think it was because I feared the man.

“I was physically afraid of him. I didn’t want to cross him because I believed there would be physical consequences if I did. I’d seen the proof. You couldn’t slack off.

“I owed him a lot. I liked his style. Sometimes he’d have his top off in the gym and he’d be doing the chest press and it was like ‘boom’. I was thinking: ‘My God, this guy’.”
